IoT: In practice

IoT or the Internet Of Things seems to be the buzzword today. And how it can leverage the cloud to do its bidding. But how do you go about doing things?

In this 30 minute session Mitch will show you how to take some sensors attached to an embedded system and push that information into the cloud for processing. We’ll also look at the essential elements of an IoT architecture and the kinds of cloud technologies that can be used to build out those components quickly.

About the speaker: Mitch Denny has been working with the .NET platform since 2000 when it was first introduced as a preview to the developer and academic community and since that time has been helping customers adopt the technology to build innovative solutions.

RavenDB: Something to crow about?

NoSQL databases are becoming more and more common and one of the main categories are document databases. In the .NET world one of the most popular choices is RavenDB, which quickly increased its market share since its initial release in 2010. It promises easy integration with .NET, using LINQ to query data, scalability and high performance despite the lack of schema.

Let's take a look at these claims - how does it work from a developer perspective, how easy is it really to use and what can you achieve. Let's also take a look at things that are not so perfect - what are the common pitfalls and what problems could you expect. Should you use it or not? And if yes, for what kinds of projects?

About the speaker: Daniel Janczak works as a Senior Developer for Readify, based in Melbourne.

Seq and Serilog - An intro

Serilog is a logging library that allows you to log structured events, and Seq is an application that integrates with Serilog to provide rich insight into your logs. In this talk Sriram will give you an introduction to both, talking about how Serilog sinks provides a means of logging structured data to different formats, how Seq provides its Serilog sink to assist in logging and demo Seq's dashboard which is an out-of-the box web UI for checking the various events logged by Serilog.

About the speaker: Sriram Ramakrishnanstarted his career working on Linux before moving onto embedded programming for financial transaction devices. He then switched over to VC++/MFC on Windows before finally settling down in the .NET platform. He currently works for Readify

Symbols - your underrated friends

Symbols! Yes, you've heard of them, and most likely seen PDB files, but do you know how important they are? Do you ship them with your code? Do you now what to do with them? oh... so many questions!

Join Cristian in this short and sweet talk about Symbols to quickly learn what they are, why are they important and how to automate the symbol archiving and mapping in the same way you do with your source control! Cristan promises it will be fun but don'take his word - come and see it for yourself ;)

About the speaker: Cristian Prieto loves cats. And coding. Buy him a drink - and he will talk non-stop on cats, coding and life in general. You've been warned!
